MichaelUde: In addition, PSW isn’t cheap especially for a family. It’s more or less like the last resort |

AlphaUno: Depending on the number of years the COS covers, PSW is not more expensive than a non health and care Skilled Worker visa. The standard 3-year Tier 2 visa application fee from inside the UK is £720 per person, plus £624 IHS per year per person. The 2 year PSW is £700 per person, plus £624 IHS per person. No real difference. Na the people wey dey the health and care dey "enjoy", no IHS and cheaper application fee. 1 Like 1 Share |

Thanks, this makes sense. I dont know about the 1 month max cos he has practically been the one chasing the HR in the NHS hospital. They only take actions when he calls or sends an email. Let me not say they are not doing anything but It also happened to someone else 1 know. TheGuyFromHR: |

I will try this. Thanks Solumtoya: |

To add to this. We wouldn't need to pay almost 2k per person just for PSW when we can switch directly to Tier 2. MichaelUde: |

No, I am scared I wont be able to secure a job with my present Visa status until my husband switches to Tier 2. Promoter2: |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by TheGuyFromHR: 4:11pm On Sep 19, 2022 |
Preshyi: Oh, your husband's job is in the NHS, is it? All the more reason for you to hang on for the COS, because a health and care visa is way cheaper than the PSW. It's a well-known thing that NHS recruitment can take some time, unfortunately. When I stated 1 month, I was referring to the usual outsourced background checks we undertake here (private sector), and I've never known those to really delay a new start commencement beyond that time frame. 2 Likes |

IMHO, the logic here (#enrichment) apply to the 3rd candidate. Sadly! And this is not just Pandora. To those that know, they'll unfortunately shake the head with all the shenanigans. Well, 9ja will have to choose out of the #3 evils, except a #miracle happens. I'll rather focus on Nigerian rising up to do the needful. At each, consciously and purposely living right (in every little way), shunning and not condoning corruption (in all its facets). Yes, I know that's a tall order. In any case, this ... tẹ mi mọ lẹ kọja, go on ṣ'oun... malaise must stop. For now.

tshoboy: Okay, thanks. I'm in contact with a Landlord in Bolton, how easy is the commute from Bolton to Manchester City Centre (St. Peter's Square) |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by MichaelUde: 7:19pm On Sep 19, 2022 |
WhiteWolfe: Depends on where you get house in Bolton itself. You go add travel time from the house to the railway station. Bolton station is about 30 minutes or so away from Manchester Oxford Road station, from where you fit use leg reach St. Peter's Square in like 10 mins. |

MichaelUde: I'm happy I'm on this forum sha. Thanks for the response. Ticket from Bolton Station to Oxford Rd Station, to and fro is how much please? And is there a monthly subscription available. The street is "Bromwich Street, BL2" 1 Like |

WhiteWolfe: Very close to the town centre. I am pretty sure there will be Manchester buses 8 to Shudehill and 37 to picaddilly gardens stops close to you. Journey to Manchester is about 50mins with 8 and 1hr 5mins with 37. Train ticket is 4.90 one way and 7.50 return. |

Manwarrior55: No that partially incorrect . .... only those on a work visa get ILR after 5 years. Student visa and PSW are not classified as a work visa meaning those years won't count under 5 years rule . However they do count under 10 years rule .... meaning most Student who do Bsc, master, PhD and then move on to PSW and then on to a work visa will typically take almost 10 years to get ILR |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by AlphaUno: 10:08pm On Sep 19, 2022 |
MichaelUde: Which would you rather do, the 5 year route to ILR or the 10 year route? In addition to the financial implications of PSW, the length of time is another factor to consider - the reasons for the statement “PSW isn’t cheap…..” |

Well, I get his point tho. I know a classmate that was offered sponsorship but not under the health and care Visa. From her calculation, she will pay almost 4k per person for visa application and IHS for 3 years. And this is a family of 4. Total calculation for the whole family to switch to tier 2 is about 16k which is ridiculous. So getting a health and care Visa makes switching to tier 2 easier. AlphaUno: |
